Best and worst tribute bands...

Recommended Posts

A band called "No Quarter" was the very best Ive ever seen...the worst..."Houses of the Holy" (The one touring with Austrailian Pink Floyd)...they had 5 members...the Plant had brown short hair...and they didnt even try to have the look...plus the equipment they were using...Ibenez guitars???

I have seen three. One was many years ago when I was in my twenties and don't remember much of the show.

Saw "Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience" and loved it. Lot of energy from the band and very emotional at times.

Recently saw "Get the Led Out". Great time. They played songs to the studio version very very well, which required eight guys on stage for some songs . They played a few that I wasn't expecting like "Fool in the Rain", "Your Time is Gonna Come" and "Tangerine".

I'd say Zoso is the best, though it's the only one I've seen live. Amazing performance, and I had the privilege to shake hands with all of them after the show. Very kind and talented people, highly recommended if they ever come to your area.

This band is from the Chicagoland area. I've seen them twice, and didn't like either performance.

This video you posted, JOHNNYROCKER, is from The Taste Of Polonia. It's an annual Polish festival that takes place at Copernicus Center, which is on the NW side of Chicago. I go to this festival at least once every year - great food, sexy polish women! , and normally good bands.

My sister has been telling me about these guys, "The Rubber Plants", I've never heard of them till now. I think they're from N. Ireland so we're planning to see them (I never seen a Led Zep tribute band before)

Well, the best Zeppelin tribute band has to be Mr Jimmy - seeing as they feature Jimmy's long lost illegitimate son - Jimmy Sakurai. The actual Jimmy is apparently a fan...having seen them in Tokyo; as reported on Ross Halfin's website...
